Setting Sprays

ctinaw — Mon, 04 Jul 2016 01:11:04 GMT

What is your favorite setting spray? I really had never used one before, but I am sick of spending so much time on my makeup just to have it all be gone or not looking so great by the end of the workday. I ended up purchasing Urban Decay All Nighter today but am kind of wondering if I should have gone with the Chill spray as I do have really dry skin and for whatever reason seem to sweat while I'm applying makeup (probably bathroom being hot from the shower steam or something). For those who ahve experience with both of those - can you tell a difference between the two really? what other sprays have you tried that you love - or hate?

I'm very curious about this, too. I'd really like to know if the new one fron loreal works well. Have any of you tried it?

I discovered Rose Petals brand of rosewater. Just spritz it on over makeup and your set. During the hot summer months I like to use powder foundations to counteract sweat and oil. Sometimes this can look too powdery so setting my makeup with rosewater brings the matte to a dewey finish...more natural and healthy looking.

This says "aromatherapy mist". I don't think it's reallyintended to be used to set your makeup. Not sure if that would work. Plus they lost me with that description on the back. Too much woo for me.

My favorite is Pixi By Petra Makeup Fixing Mist. Especially love it in the summer...it feels great to spray on after applying my make-up (some use it before and after and I am going to give that a try). This product actually helps extend the life of my make-up for at least several more hours.

I have purchased several products from this line (another favorite is Pixie Glow Tonic...learned about that product months back from this community forum). I purchase these items from Target. It is a bonus that these products work so well and are cruelty free to boot!

@ctinaw,I've used them both but found the All Nighter the better one for summer for me.

@ctinaw,

This rosewater has many uses. Aromatherapy is only one of them. You can google rosewater makeup setting spray. There's quite a few articles.

Do you feel anything on your face after you spray it on or does it just dry or soak in? I've wondered about those as well. I have dry skin.

I just use water. I put a bit on my palms, rub my hands together, blot off the excess, and then pat my face. I use IT CC cream, which is waterproof, so it doesn't disturb the make-up at all. I would never pay for a setting spray.

@KCDiva,

I think rosewater is perfect for dry skin. Sometimes I just spray it on to give my skin a moisture boost when I'm not wearing any makeup or not. I love this stuff. Uses for rosewater:

Toner

Makeup remover

Hair treatment

Eye brightener

Aftershave treatment

Bath additive

Makeup refresher

Aromatherapy

An 8oz. bottle costs only $10!

Setting sprays don't leave any filmy feeling of any sort on the skin. Some will make your skin feel more hydrated (cooling) and some help with oily skin, but there isn't like a feeling to it. It feels much like just a light mist of water if anything.

I have tried many different ones, but the one I'm using right now is the Cinema Secrets setting mist. I got mine from Sephora, and I really love it. I also just reordered the Ben Nye spray from Camera Ready Cosmetics. The Ben Nye is my favorite and it smells like spearmint. It locks my makeup in place!! I will cont to repurchase this one

Avon has one and I've been using it for a few years now. It's about $7.00, a generous size, and it's the best I've used and let me tell you, it does it's job! I live in Southern Illinios and it gets hot and sticky here. It keeps my makeup on when I work out at lunch time, when I go boating and when I ride my motorcycle (with a helmet). I am quite pleased with it.
